Quality Engineer

Guided Search Partners (GSP)

Guided Search Partners is an Executive Search firm built on Trust, Transparency, Specialization, and Long-term Relationships. We connect high-performing professionals with organizations that value people, performance, and growth—helping leaders find roles where they can make an impact and build meaningful careers.

We’re partnering with a growing, multi-facility manufacturer in a highly regulated industry that is expanding its quality organization and modernizing its systems. This role exists due to site growth and a broader shift toward stronger process ownership and regulatory readiness. You’ll step into an environment investing in quality, structure, and people with room to influence how systems are built and improved.

This is a strong fit for a hands‑on quality professional who likes taking control of processes and making them better.

Lead investigations, validations, and process controls across a regulated manufacturing environment. Drive CAPA, nonconformance, and root cause efforts using structured methods. Support supplier quality, document control, and regulatory readiness activities. Partner with operations, engineering, and QC teams to resolve issues and strengthen systems. Contribute to statistical controls, software and process validation, and tooling or equipment release decisions. Help raise technical capability through training and floor support.

You’re a take‑ownership quality engineer who brings structure, follow‑through, and technical depth. You’re comfortable leading investigations and controls, not just supporting them. You work well across teams, communicate clearly, and prefer practical, down‑to‑earth environments. You’re motivated by improvement, accountability, and building systems that last.

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering or Science or equivalent experience
• 4+ years in medical device or similarly regulated manufacturing
• Strong background in CAPA, nonconformance, and root cause methods
• Experience with ISO 13485 / FDA quality controls or comparable frameworks
• Validation, SPC, MSA, and supplier quality exposure
• Comfortable taking technical ownership of quality systems

This position supports a site moving toward deeper regulatory alignment and stronger internal quality ownership. You’ll have visible impact on how systems are built, improved, sustained, and work closely with experienced leadership in a culture focused on empowerment and succession growth. It’s a timely entry point for someone who wants influence and runway.

• Reports to site quality leadership
• Works across two nearby facilities with shared resources
• Partners closely with QC, engineering, and operations teams
